Needlework stand kits

If you love embroidery, then surely the lady dolls in your doll’s house do as well! These designs for needlework stands are to be stitched on 40 count silk gauze using tent and basketweave stitch (like half cross stitch). Components for the finely turned mahogany frame are included in the kit.

There are several ‘picture designs’, for various styles and eras in your doll’s house – includingTudor, Georgian and Victorian. There are also three ‘work in progress’ designs for what would be ‘3-D’ items in real life. So, the embroiderer in your doll’s house can now be seen to be working on a project such as a pair of slippers, a handbag or a doorstop!

Each needlework stand kit contains a generous amount of 40 count silk gauze, Anchor stranded cotton threads, the mahogany frame pieces, a colour block chart (the design is not printed on the fabric), detailed instructions and a suitable needle. The stand measures two and three eighths of an inch wide by three and three quarters high (6cm by 9cm) when finished.

There is a Free Online Tutorial for the needlework stand kits, which shows in detail how to stitch and assemble them.
